I've been on a The Who kick for a month or so. I never really got into their music when I was young. That whole "pinball wizard" thing really turned me off. But recently, I discovered their Live at Leeds album, Who's Next, and some live concert videos from 1970, which are really great!
Two days ago, I downloaded Quadrophenia and have been listening to it while walking my dog around the neighborhood, and that album really, really sucks! It sounds like a collection of showtunes! How the hell did they go from Who's Next to that crap? It's no wonder they made it into an actual musical. Yuck! They lost all their grit!
